Description: "In The Coming Democracy, political analyst Ann Florini sets forth a new paradigm for transnational governance. It is based on the concept of "transparency," the idea that the free flow of information - on topics ranging from corporate and government behavior to nuclear proliferation to biodiversity protection - provides powerful ways to hold decision makers accountable and to give ordinary people meaningful voice in shaping the policies that affect them. Thanks to the dramatic breakthroughs in information technology of the past decade, such transparency is now possible on a global scale."--Jacket.
